Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The matter had been resolved. Madam Zou had taken the poison and could not be saved. Imperial Physician Qin had to leave quickly. Otherwise, if he was caught, he would not be able to leave!
Madam Zou lay on the bed, her eyes turning black. She could only watch Imperial Physician Qin leave and try to stop him.
She hurriedly took out a bottle of antidote from under her pillow. After Madam Zou hurriedly swallowed the antidote, the pain on her face finally eased a lot, and she fainted weakly.
Just as Madam Zou passed out, Ji Yan, who had been hiding under the roof to protect her, jumped down and rushed to her/
He raised his hand to check Madam Zou’s breathing. Seeing that the poison in her body was no longer a problem under the effect of the antidote, Ji Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He then carried her on his back and hurriedly ran toward the courtyard where Gu Qingxue lived.
On the other side, Imperial Physician Qin was completely unaware that his plan had failed from the start. He was drenched in sweat from running and panted as he rushed out of the back door of the Gu residence. He ran for half a street and only felt at ease after he was sure that no one was chasing after him.
The sky was not completely bright yet and there were not many people on the streets, so no one noticed Imperial Physician Qin’s proud appearance.
“Hahaha, I’ve succeeded!” Imperial Physician Qin was so happy that his eyes shone. He was very clear in his heart that he only needed to leave this damn place and the noble consort would prepare a luxurious mansion and fertile land for him. At that time, he would be able to enjoy his old age in peace and no longer need to live in fear in the palace all day long!
Imperial Physician Qin could not be bothered to rest and hurriedly entered a small alley beside him. After making a few turns in the box, he came to the depths of the alley and saw a horse carriage waiting there.
A man wearing a red scarf stood beside the carriage. At this moment, the man heard movement and looked in Imperial Physician Qin’s direction with extreme vigilance.
Imperial Physician Qin looked at the man with a smile and immediately took out a bright red silk scarf from his chest. He quickly waved it and said, “Don’t worry, brother, we’re all on the same side. You’re here to find me, right? I’m Imperial Physician Qin!”
After the carriage driver heard Imperial Physician Qin’s self-introduction, the killing intent in his eyes disappeared as quickly as it appeared. He sized him up indifferently, “Yes, I’ve been waiting for you. Get in the car. I’ll send you out of the city. There will be someone outside the city to pick you up.”
Imperial Physician Qin was overjoyed and did not notice the problem at all. He pulled the door of the carriage and was about to force himself into the carriage.
Seeing Imperial Physician Qin’s back facing him without any defense, a bit of resentment rose in the carriage driver’s eyes. He then pulled out the blade hidden in his sleeve and went straight for Imperial Physician Qin’s heart.
Imperial Physician Qin did not notice it. He was old and it was difficult for him to get on the carriage with his own strength. He turned his head to look at the carriage driver, ” Big brother, I can’t get in the car, help me…”
Before Imperial Physician Qin could finish saying ‘help me up’, he saw the coachman come over with a sharp blade and stab it into his shoulder.
“Ah!” Even though he had avoided a fatal injury, Imperial Physician Qin was still in excruciating pain. Large patches of blood gushed out, and he was in so much pain that his legs went soft and he sat on the ground, “You want to kill me? I’m one of Prince Heng’s men! It was the noble consort who asked me to come and find you!”
The coachman sneered and sneered, “You’re Prince Heng’s man, but you’re also someone the noble consort wants to kill! How could the noble consort spare your life? Go to hell!”
